Reindeer Pulling a Sleigh SVG

About this design

Christmas Eve is about to begin. A reindeer stag with tall branching antlers stands ready in front of a curved sleigh, its body overlapping the sleigh’s side. The sleigh has a deep, rounded body and long runners that curl up at both ends. In the layered version, the sleigh body glows gold behind the brown reindeer, which makes the scene feel warm and festive.

The reindeer and the sleigh are joined into one connected piece with four cut-outs. The thin sleigh rim, the curled runners and the reindeer’s legs are fine details, which is why the design carries a “Print & web” label on its page. It is best printed, or cut from about 6.5 inches wide and larger.

Color layers

• Mantel signs cut large from wood.

Size and cutting tips

For printing, any size works. For cutting, start at about 6.5 inches wide; the sleigh rim and runner curls are narrow, so use a fresh blade and go slowly. For a window decal, 12 inches wide or more gives the cleanest result.

Step by step: Christmas Eve box lid

1. Download the PNG from the editor at 300 DPI, sized to the width of your box lid.
2. Add “Christmas Eve” and the child’s name above the scene in your software.
3. Print it on white sticker paper.
4. Trim around the edge and apply it to the lid.
5. Fill the box with pajamas, a book and hot cocoa.

Color ideas

• Brown with a gold sleigh, the classic
• Brown with a red sleigh for a traditional look
• Black with gold for an elegant card
• White with silver on a navy background

Good to know

The sleigh is empty, which leaves room in your design for Santa, a pile of gifts or a name. Place a few gift box designs from the collection inside the sleigh in your software, or write a family name across the gold sleigh body on a printed version.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor so the scene faces the other way.
• Add the editor’s offset border for a Print Then Cut sticker.

Pairs well with

The Flying Reindeer is already in the air, and the Santa Gift Sack could fill the sleigh.
